Thank you for your interest in The Community Care Fund. Dr. Nicole is deeply committed to making sex and relationship support accessible, inclusive, and rooted in care for our whole community.

This sliding-scale scholarship is designed to honor the diverse financial realities that shape people’s lives. Community members who are able to pay the full session rate contribute directly to The Community Care Fund, making it possible for others to receive sliding-scale scholarship support. This collective model allows us to practice the very values we cultivate in our work: mutual care, integrity, and interdependence.

At The Pleasure Practice, we believe in building adaptable, evolving relationships. As your circumstances change, your rate can too. If questions arise about fees or payment options, please reach out to Dr. Nicole. Your feedback matters deeply, and we are always working to expand access to this liberatory work.

Please take time to intentionally reflect on the application questions so we can determine a rate that reflects your current financial reality, honors the value of this work, and helps sustain a community rooted in mutual care and liberation.

How to Choose Your Tier

Below are three tiers of need. You are invited to choose the tier that most closely reflects your current reality.

Tier 1: Higher Financial Constraint

You may resonate with this tier if you are experiencing significant limitations in access to resources, such as:

• Living paycheck to paycheck or with little financial buffer

• Significant student loan or medical debt

• Unstable, inconsistent, or low income

• Disability, chronic illness, or reduced work capacity

• Financial dependence on others or supporting others financially

• Little or no generational wealth

• Ongoing impacts of systemic marginalization that limit earning power

  
  

Recommended Community Care Rates

• Group work: $50-80 per hour

• Individual sessions: $150-200

• Couples / partnership sessions: $250-300

Tier 2: Moderate Financial Constraint

You may resonate with this tier if you are generally able to meet your basic needs, but paying the standard rate would create strain, stress, or require sacrifice elsewhere, such as:

• Stable income with limited flexibility

• Ongoing debt alongside financial stability

• Limited savings or emergency funds

• Early to mid-career earnings

• Housing, healthcare, or caregiving costs that significantly impact disposable income

  
  

Recommended Community Care Rates

• Group work: $90–$130 per hour

• Individual sessions: $225–$300

• Couples / partnership sessions: $325–$400

Tier 3: Lower Financial Constraint (Standard Rate)

You may resonate with this tier if you have the financial capacity to pay the full rate without significant strain, such as:

• Reliable income that meets needs with room to spare

• Access to savings or financial safety nets

• Property ownership or long-term housing security

• Generational or accumulated wealth

• Financial privilege that allows choice and flexibility

  
  

Standard Rates

• Group work: $150 per hour

• Individual sessions: $350

• Couples / partnership sessions: $450

  
  

Paying the standard rate helps sustain this practice and makes reduced-rate access possible for others.

If these rates are still not accessible with your financial situation. Please do email Dr. Nicole, Nicole@ModernAnarchyPodcast.com
